AdStage Join allows marketers to connect paid ad performance data with Google Analytics conversion data in order to discover how many down-funnel conversion goal completions come from each network, campaign, ad set, or ad.

Join works by connecting your Google Analytics goal completion data with the paid ad account, campaign, ad group, and ad from which the conversion came via UTM parameters. Simply select the GA goal and ad accounts you'd like to join together, choose a level of granularity, and then schedule how frequently you want AdStage to join your data.

Once you click save your Join task can be found in the Join table. Join will run and start mapping data at the scheduled time, based on the join levels you set. When the task has run, you can jump into the log to see the results.

Then, implement your newly joined custom conversion in your Report dashboards and Automate tasks by searching for the custom conversion by name in the Fields section. 

Step 1: Navigate to Join by hovering over the Data Management Icon on the left-hand sidebar.

Step 2: Click the “Create New” button on the top right-hand side.

Step 3: Choose Google Analytics as your conversion source.

Step 4: Choose the GA goal(s) to connect with your paid data and enter a name and description for each custom conversion.

Step 5: Select the ad account(s) you want to join with your GA goal(s).

Step 6: Select the Join levels of granularity you’d like to use for this custom conversion.

Step 7: Match your GA keys with your network keys by selecting the corresponding options from the drop-down boxes on the right-hand side.

Step 8: Choose a lookback window for which AdStage will pull conversion data, a “use data from” time range, and frequency for how often AdStage will pull conversion data.

Step 9: Name your Join task and click Save.
